The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to propose a highly accurate technique for solving strongly nonlinear aeroelastic systems of airfoils in subsonic flow. The frequencies and amplitudes of limit cycle oscillations (LCOs) arising in the considered systems are expanded as series of an embedding parameter. A series of algebraic equations are then derived, which determine the coefficients of the series. Importantly, all these equations are linear except the first one. Using some routine procedures to deduce these equations, an obstacle would arise in expanding some fractional functions as series in the embedding parameter. To this end, an approach is proposed for the expansion of fractional function. This provides us with a simple yet efficient iteration scheme to seek very-high-order approximations. Numerical examples show that the HAM solutions are obtained very precisely. At the same time, the CPU time needed can be significantly reduced by using the presented approach rather than by the usual procedure in expanding fractional functions.
